The Power Project’s Core Learning Group is a small group of individuals who have helped guide the project and challenged and extended our thinking.
‘The Power Project is all about how do we meaningfully include those who lack power in decisions that affect them… my journey has been humbling, it’s taught me to really listen, to check my power in my work and in life generally…. This is challenging, really challenging, but this is real and it will make you question everything. But isn’t that what real change is actually about?
